Our History

Choose New Jersey was created in 2010 under Governor Christie as an independent, nonpartisan organization focused on encouraging and nurturing economic growth.

Today, we continue to tell New Jersey’s story through our integrated business attraction and marketing efforts. We support the economic development priorities of the Murphy Administration, including seeking international investment and growing an innovation-driven economy.

In 2018, we coordinated the efforts behind a Governor-led business mission to Germany and Israel, resulting in the opening of our Europe office. In 2019, Governor Murphy led the New Jersey Delegation on a 6-day, 7-city mission to India and announced the launch of our New Jersey India Center. During the trip, 3 Indian companies with a presence in New Jersey committed to expanding operations and add more than 1,200 jobs.

Since our inception, Choose New Jersey has assisted over 250 companies, creating 39,000 new and retained jobs and spurring $2.6 billion in capital investment.
